Problems solved by technology

However, as with all remote service-based solutions, the consumer has no control over said service, which is entirely up to the service provider
It is well known that remote services may stop for technical or commercial reasons from time to time (such as a business model with no commercial value), and furthermore, some consumers prefer not to go through remote service providers and wish to maintain control themselves

Embodiment Construction

[0019] An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1 . The figure shows a system 1 for restoring files. A user interacts with a first local device 2 comprising a storage medium with a first memory area 3 , a first processor 14 and optionally a time and date mechanism 13 . This interactive process utilizes the first processor 14, the display 10 and the user input device 7 (such as a keypad). Any other suitable user input device may also be used, such as a mouse, trackball, joystick, etc. The user usually stores information files in the first memory area 3 . Users often wish to make information files available while also being removable. This is usually accomplished using a removable storage device. A second local device 4, which may be smaller and portable, may be attached to the first local device 2 so that information files may be exchanged using the information file connection 9. One exemplary form of such a second local device is a removable storage device, such as...

Abstract

The invention describes a method, system, recording medium for a program and the related program to restore information files. The invention specifically addresses the technical field of mobile storage devices used in co-operation with a, generally larger, repository of information. A user can identify files to be transferred from a computer (2, 3) to a mobile storage device (4, 5). The invention ensures that administrative information (12) is created locally to the user, optionally including time and date information (13), to enable future information file restoration. Only administrative information (12) is preserved. Multiple copies of information files are not made resulting in modest usage of backup storage space. The invention is particularly useful for generally available information files. Administrative information (12) may be stored locally (5, 6) or remotely and uniquely identifies the information files allowing restoration from any repository containing the information files to be restored.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to information processing, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method, system, device, and recording medium and program used therein for restoring files. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as the mobility of consumers has increased, there have been more and more storage devices used in many cases to make information more mobile. For example, removable storage devices based on flash memory and hard drive devices are common. Such devices are generally used for information and are also used in specific applications such as portable music and video-on-demand players. In any such product, consumers want to be assured that information on their removable storage devices can be recovered in the event of loss of information, such as by accident or misuse. A traditional method of reassuring consumers is to perform a full backup of the information on the removable storage device. This complete bac...
